In a historic first marked by a dedicated event, Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) initiated the deliveries of its China-made Model 3 vehicles on Monday, weeks ahead of the ambitious target set for the Chinese Lunar New Year falling on the 25th of January 2020.

Although the iconic electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer began production at its Shanghai Gigafactory back in October, the company was forced to delay the Model 3 deliveries as it procured the necessary approvals from the Chinese government. With all pertinent formalities finally fulfilled, 15 Tesla employees received their ordered Model 3s on Monday at a special event amid press galore.
